C27 Ghosts

"This sound, where did this sound come from?" Everyone felt their scalps go numb as they quickly searched everywhere.

Someone from the Qiao Family stepped forward and bandaged the injured mercenary's broken leg.

"Don't waste your energy. He has already lost his ability to fight. Living will only add to our burden. Rather than bandaging him up, it's better to just let him go!" The tall and sturdy mercenary with the highest cultivation level and large face said indifferently.

"Isn't that good? After all, we are all teammates now, how can we just stand by and not help? " The man from Qiao Family frowned, obviously disagreeing with what the mercenary said.

"Humph!" It will be hard to accomplish anything with a woman's kindness. Just wait until he kills us all? " The mercenary snorted and actually stepped forward and lifted his left foot.

"D … Du Ze, what are you doing? " The mercenary with a broken leg immediately shouted out, "I'm your cousin! Even if others don't help me, you can't take advantage of me while I'm down!"

"So what if he is my cousin? As a mercenary, how could he still talk about kinship after licking blood on the blade? I am doing this for your own good so that you will experience less pain! " Du Ze finished his sentence, and his leg immediately dropped down!

"Crack!" The chest of the mercenary with a broken leg was punctured by his stomp, and his heart was crushed to pieces. Blood continued to pour out from his seven orifices, and he died just like that.

Zhang Chao could not help but close his eyes.

The others also continuously shook their heads, as they too, disagreed with Du Ze's actions.

"What is it? You don't like me? I did it for your own good! " Du Ze pursed his lips, and said in a low and muffled voice: "Especially the mercenaries, if they die, after we complete our mission, wouldn't the bounty be increased a little?"

"..." Qiao Heng muttered to himself, a luster flashing in his eyes, but he did not say anything.

After all, Du Ze's cultivation was still above his, and if he really met with any danger, then he would be the main force. Even if his current behavior was indeed a little overboard, there was no need to argue with him. After all, everyone was in danger, and it was not the right time to argue with him.

"F * ck, this mercenary really has a natural disposition. His own cousin stepped on him to death just like that. Compared to those bandits, he's like a small marten on a hill. It's even better than that!" Zhang Chao sighed, for such a person, if there were no special circumstances, he would definitely not be associated with them.

"Found it!" Suddenly, someone shouted. Everyone's attention was focused on him.

"Over there!" That person raised his hand and pointed towards the back of a nearby stone pillar.

"Pah!" Soon after, a badly mutilated object was thrown out from behind the stone pillar. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a human leg!

"It's that guy's calf!" Someone exclaimed.

"What is it?"

"Let's go take a look!"

Several mercenaries were brave and talented. They rolled up their sleeves and surrounded themselves with elemental energy, slowly approaching the stone pillar.

"Creak …" "Creak …" Then, from behind the stone pillar, came a strange scream.

"Swoosh swoosh!" A few shadows jumped out and pounced on one of the mercenaries.

"Hah!" The mercenary's pupils constricted and he quickly raised his hand to attack. However, before he could hit anything, his arm that had been swung out suddenly spat out blood, and his elbow had disappeared!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed miserably in pain. As soon as he looked down, another shadow passed by his shoulder. His head was also torn off. Fresh blood spurted into the air as he jumped more than ten feet into the air!

"What the hell is it?" Everyone's hearts leaped to their throats. Their eyes immediately focused on the rapidly moving black figure, but they realized that they could not see the black figure clearly!

"Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck …" The few black shadows instantly returned to the back of the stone pillar, and the sound of chewing once again rang out …

Everyone felt their hairs stand on end. Looking at the incomplete corpse of the mercenary, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"This... This is too scary. What are we going to face? " A few of the Qiao Family disciples trembled as their hearts almost collapsed. They suddenly turned around and ran in another direction, "No, no, I don't want to stay here. I want to leave, I don't want to die!"

"Bastard, don't run!" Qiao Heng immediately shouted.

But it was too late.

Just as these few Qiao Family people were passing by a few stone pillars, countless black figures suddenly jumped out from behind the stone pillars!

In a few breaths time, all of the Qiao Family's people were lying on the ground in pools of blood. Their bodies were already incomplete, the most miserable one's chest was completely hollowed, and their abdomen was completely ripped open.

"Dammit. There's actually this many?" Zhang Chao and the rest felt the blood on their bodies turn cold.

"Creak, creak, creak!" Soon after, around the numerous stone pillars, the black shadows all revealed their faces. As far as the eye could see, there was no end to it. The entire grey world seemed to be eroded by black in an instant.

"This... "What are these guys?" Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

The true faces of these black shadows were all dwarves that were only two feet tall!

These dwarves had ugly faces and were covered with stiff black fur. They looked like hedgehogs, with huge wrinkled heads and pustules of varying sizes. Their eyes were like toads, and their sinister red pupils emitted a bloodthirsty luster.

They had no nose, only two holes the size of fingernails. Their lower mouths were split open all the way to the back of the triangular ears, and their mouths were filled with teeth half an inch long, sharp as knives.

It only had three fingers, with a thin layer of webbed flesh in the middle. At the top of the arm was a fingernail that was like a hook, and it was dark green in color.

As for the quantity, it had already reached a frightening level. When it looked at Zhang Chao and the others, it was as if they had seen food.

"This... What was this? Qiao Heng, you are experienced and knowledgeable, do you recognize me? " A man from the Qiao Family gritted her teeth and asked.

"Never seen it before!" Qiao Heng thought hard, then shook his head. He had no impression whatsoever of this kind of strange thing.

"This thing seems to be a strange ghost!" An old Qiao Family expert stroked her beard and said with a stern expression.

"Strange ghost? What is that? Senior brother, you know? " Qiao Heng's expression changed as he hurriedly asked.

"Un, I once saw some introductions in an ancient book!" The old man from the Qiao Family nodded her head, and said with narrowed eyes: "This thing is extremely vicious, it feeds on living things, resides in a group, its speed is extremely fast, it is bloodthirsty and crazy!"

"There is such a creature in this world?" When everyone heard this, they were puzzled.

"I don't know the specifics, after all, this thing is extremely rare, and I'm afraid only a few people have actually seen it, and have been able to live through it." I don't know the specifics, after all, this thing is extremely rare, and I'm afraid only a few have actually seen it and have been able to live through it. The Qiao Family continued to speak: "However, in these places, the surrounding thousands of miles around Can City do not exist, naturally no one has ever seen this kind of thing!"

"But even if we know what they are, how should we deal with them? We've already seen their attacks, so there's no way we can block them! " Du Ze rubbed his chin and said while sighing: "The most important thing is that there are too many of them!"

"No, the ancient book doesn't have any information on how to deal with them. It just specifically reminded me to be careful when meeting them." The old man from Qiao Family shook her head.

"Ai!" Everyone looked at each other and sighed again.

"Quack, quack, quack!" The number of strange ghosts increased, and they continued to gather towards the crowd.

"Damn it, I've been surrounded. As of now, I have to fight my way out!" Du Ze clenched his fists and pulled out a gold-plated hammer from behind him. He released all his cultivation at the seventh level of the Natal Opening Realm without holding back.

That large hammer was a medium-grade human-step treasure, and it was covered in golden light. Holding it in his hand added a bit of killing intent to it.

The others gritted their teeth and each and every one of them pulled out their own magical equipment and weapons, completely displaying all of their wealth.

If he did not fight to the death, he would have died here today, becoming the food of these dwarves and ghouls!

"Wait, don't attack yet. I think there's a problem!" Zhang Chao suddenly opened his mouth, and in his mysterious left eye, a strange luster once again appeared.
